Can't get any better than this! (Ok, if Nora herself gave me a cover quote, or J.K. Rowling, but this is pretty d**n good).

Nora Roberts read-alikes

Fans of Roberts's more recent Romantic Fantasy, the Circle Trilogy, might also appreciate Robin D. Owens. Her Summoning series features a magic-based society where talents are pooled to fight evil; however, the leaders must also summon a character from contemporary Earth to defend their world when the danger becomes too threatening. With action both in the magical world and in contemporary society, this series offers many similarities to Roberts — strong characters, suspenseful action, interesting worlds, and the frantic drive to deflect the impending doom. Guardian of Honor is the first.
